Guest Post: Mermaid Colors by Design Shuffle

Hi, I'm Joanna, a writer for Design Shuffle, an online portfolio site for interior designers to show their work and design enthusiasts to enjoy. I spend my time searching the web for some of the loveliest rooms around and bringing them to share on blogs such as Mermaid in Madras. What little girl hasn't dreamed of being a mermaid? Well, now that we're big girls, we can keep the dream alive by decorating our spaces in the colors of the sea and shore. Besides adding color to a space, you can also create a coastal dÈcor with touches of shells and coral. Take a look at some of the interior designs we found that remind us of mermaid colors. Thanks for letting me share with you today.

This room, dressed in aqua and yellow, reminds us of a sunny day on the beach or maybe the colors of a mermaid's tail.

This room is full of dining room design ideas. The glint of a mermaid's scales might include turquoise and pink like the rooms shown here.

Aqua and a sandy beige are the order of the day in this plush bedroom. Doesn't it make you question - where does a mermaid sleep?

Another aqua and driftwood hued space carries mermaid colors throughout its interior design for a totally lovely space.

A lovely canopy bed draped in yards of aqua silk offers the perfect place to dream of swimming with the mermaids. This bedroom design is whimsical and dreamy.

Are those bubbles on the rug and at the windows? A seaside scene plays out on the far wall of the room behind an oversize floor lamp.

Not all mermaids are bright aqua, some we've seen are softly hued like the blue room above. A seashell collection adorns a built in on the far wall.

There is no mistaking this is a mermaid's bath with its fun tile mosaic and coral and seaweed accents. Will these bathroom ideas become a part of your mermaid dÈcor? Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
